Knights Have Strong Showing in First Scrimmage (11/18/2009)

 Kendrick Knopp scores three of his 25 points.

Kendrick Knopp buried six three-pointers on his way to 25 points in his varsity debut as Marion County had a successful scrimmage against Bullitt East.  Austin Spalding, Josh Reed, and Deshawn Douglas all scored 14 for Marion Conty as the Knights won three of the five periods.  Had the scores been totaled, the Knights would have topped the Chargers 77-76.

  
(Left) Austin Spalding splits a pair of Bullitt East defenders to score two of his 14 points.  (Right) Josh Reed (12) scores two of his 14 points after a steal in Marion County's scrimmage.

"This was a good showing for us," said head coach Tim Peterson.  "We had balanced scoring and Kendrick shot the ball really well."  With all of their regular post players still playing football, the undersized Knights shot 56.4% from the field, including 11-for-20 from behind the arc.

The freshmen and junior varsity did not fair as well as the varsity, losing both of their periods 26-9 and 15-12.

Varsity scores by period:

BE  -  16  16  11  29  4
MC  -  14  20  22  15  6

The Marion County Knights will host the Chargers of Bullitt East in a scrimmage Wednesday in the Roby Dome.  Seniors Austin Spalding and Josh Reed will lead a mix of experienced and younger players for the Knights against the bigger Chargers.  There will be a mix of J.V. and Varsity play and, following established rules for a scrimmage, the score will only be kept for individual quarters.  Marion County's varsity will focus on guard play as most of their post players are still with the Knight football team, which is advancing in the KHSAA Class AAAA playoffs.

Tip-off is scheduled for 6:00 PM
